Known best for his massive head of hair and being a £27.5million scapegoat, Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has spent the summer in Brazil as part of Belgium's World Cup squad.

But with a return to English football - and a United squad under the stewardship of Louis van Gaal - edging closer, the giant Belgian has decided he needs a new look; something that won't garner so much attention

And that has meant only one thing ladies and gentleman: he's had the chop.

The 26-year-old - part of the Belgium side that reached the World Cup quarter-finals - has gone under the clippers and had the vast majority of his barnet shorn.

United fans, who saw him make just 21 appearances in his debut season at Old Trafford will hope it makes him feel like a new man.

More importantly, they'll likely want him to play like one during the new season also.
